When kidneys can no longer perform their essential functions, kidney replacement therapy is needed to sustain life. This includes dialysis (either hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis) or a kidney transplant, depending on your specific needs and overall health.
Deciding on the right treatment path involves understanding the pros and cons of each option.
Dialysis may be done at home or in a center, while transplant offers a more permanent solution for those who qualify. Support and education are critical during this transition.
Facing kidney failure is challenging, but you’re not alone. With expert medical care, patient-centered guidance, and access to advanced therapies, individuals with kidney failure can manage their condition and maintain a good quality of life.
